Hitachi L22DG07 Pro Reviews

The Hitachi's chassis uses an all plastic construction, with a glossy plastic bezel and a matching oval stand which can't be swivelled. At the rear is a basic set of connections that should be sufficient but the included remote control could do with a re-think in terms of ergonomic design. The menu system is basic and uninspired but it's simple to navigate and informative, making setup easy. Whilst the greyscale and gamma performance could be better, with careful setup the Hitachi is capable of a reasonable picture, despite the absence of calibration controls. The video processing is very good which is important, as most of the content that will be watched on it will be standard definition. However if you do take advantage of the 1080p panel, then the high definition performance is also very capable, with good detail and motion handling. The dynamic range is limited but the backlight is uniform and the Hitachi has enough brightness to deliver a pleasing picture in most environments.
